About Trichy Nutrition
About the Founder - Laura Schulz
I’m Laura, the practitioner behind Trichy Nutrition. After struggling with Trichotillomania for over 25 years, I realised something was missing from the conversation. I wasn’t just dealing with a “behaviour.” My body was sending signals through my gut, my nervous system, my nutrient status and my immune function and no one was looking there. So I did.
What began as personal research turned into years of clinical study, deep investigation into functional blood chemistry, mineral imbalances, gut dysfunction, histamine issues, infections and nervous system regulation and ultimately into helping hundreds of clients uncover the root drivers behind their hair pulling behaviours.
At Trichy Nutrition, I don’t just focus on symptom management. I look at the internal terrain.Through detailed consultations, blood test analysis, strategic detoxification, mineral rebuilding and nervous system support, I help clients reduce inflammatory load, correct deficiencies, calm histamine responses and rebuild resilience from the inside out.
I have now worked with over 300 clients worldwide, and one thing is clear: Trich is never “just psychological”. It is often the body asking for support. My approach is layered, personalised and grounded in physiology. Healing isn’t linear, but when we address what’s happening beneath the surface, sustainable change becomes possible.
If you’re here, you’re not broken.
Your body is communicating and I’m here to help you understand it.
